Further comments on the paper

Comments: This manuscript presents 2 case reports, one diagnosed with root fracture of tooth 21 and indicative of Flapless Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization (FIIP), another diagnosed with persisting pain after root canal treatments, and two apex resections in tooth 21. This report clearly illustrates the surgical implantation procedure for fixing the injury using the FIIPP protocol.
